November 14 - Monthly Member's Meeting, Bagel Factory, 142 W 34th Ave, Anchorage. Presentation is "Good Photos to Great Paintings" by Mark McDermott. Many of us paint from photos. It is very tempting to just copy the photo in front of us without much thought to whether the design, placement of features or values can or should be improved to make a more impactful painting. Mark has figured out effective strategies for evaluating his wonderful photographs so they are springboards to paintings that have won him awards in and outside of Alaska. We will also finally have Artists’ Sharing of recent work (with a prize for those bringing in paintings).

Please let Jean Watson know if you will be joining us for the delicious buffet at 6 pm on November 14th ($15). Complimentary wine is available. We look forward to seeing you!

Frank Eber will be the 2019 AKWS Invited Artist. Frank will conduct a 5 day workshop August 5 through 9, 2019 as well as judge the AKWS 45th Annual Juried Exhibition. Registration forms will be available in early 2019.
